"Poll question: Can the Lakers play .500 ball without LeBron?"


          

Lakers are currently 1-3 without LeBron in the lineup - but the schedule turns a bit more favorable over the next stretch of games. Bron looks like he'll sit for at least another week or two - and the Lakers just need to stay afloat during that time lest they find themselves quickly snatched out of the playoff picture.

But this is an interesting time to scrutinize this team to see who can run with the wolves in the next couple of years to vie for titles. What's clear is that without a second all-star - this currently comprised roster is not sufficient to compete for a title.

I say yes. Or rather, they have a better chance than previous LeBron tea...
Jan 03rd 2019
1
yea this team is certainly better than last year's Cavs
Jan 03rd 2019
6
With BI being better than PG, I don't see why not.
Jan 03rd 2019
2
lol
Jan 03rd 2019
5
BI might be the 3rd/4th best player on the team.
Jan 03rd 2019
7
they CAN, but i don't think they WILL
Jan 03rd 2019
3
Rondo being out is def hurting them with no Bron.
Jan 03rd 2019
8
We could be over .500 if we had the rest of the roster
Jan 03rd 2019
4
this team really can't afford not to be healthy for large stretches
Jan 03rd 2019
9
bad loss last night. Knicks snapped 8-game losing streak
Jan 05th 2019
10
Sure... they got a roster full of young talent, high ceilings & high iqs
Jan 05th 2019
11
and yet, they still have one of the best trade packages for N.O.
Jan 05th 2019
12
Also without Kuzma and Rondo
Jan 06th 2019
13
Rondo has been coming off the bench
Jan 06th 2019
14
      Rondo’s absence becomes extra important if LeBron is out
Jan 06th 2019
16
           For sure.
Jan 06th 2019
18
The Lakers "Young Promising Core" is a myth. It's a bunch of ehhhh playe...
Jan 06th 2019
15
Lakers now 1-5 without LeBron
Jan 06th 2019
17
Lonzo defense so good he locked himself down. Donut
Jan 06th 2019
19
remember when mo williams started crying when bron left cleveland?
Jan 06th 2019
21
lol will never forget it.
Jan 07th 2019
29
ehh...
Jan 06th 2019
22
Yikes.
Jan 06th 2019
20
The goal now is to be .500 when Lebron gets back
Jan 07th 2019
23
pretty much. I'm hoping Bron returns on Wednesday v. Detroit
Jan 07th 2019
28
      He’s not. He’s getting re-evaluated on Friday
Jan 08th 2019
34
You do realize Rondo is out too?
Jan 07th 2019
24
Rondo was the best pickup of the 'Meme Team' IMO
Jan 07th 2019
25
Again. Rondo has been out essentially all year
Jan 07th 2019
27
      NO won 48 games last year. .they're 18-22 this year.
Jan 07th 2019
30
           you're omitting the fact they had prime, motivated Cousins
Jan 09th 2019
36
                like you're omitting other injuries beside LeBron during this run..
Jan 10th 2019
70
                     lol lakers have had guys out all season.
Jan 12th 2019
97
                          Ok....
Jan 12th 2019
102
We trash, Bron is the GOAT.
Jan 07th 2019
26
This is a blessing in disguise....young'uns looked strong tonight
Jan 08th 2019
31
naw i dont want to see the Kuzma 5 experience again
Jan 08th 2019
33
It is.. they get to grow up a little more before Bron gets back..
Jan 10th 2019
71
huge win @ Dallas.

Zo has home-town favoritism buoying him.
Jan 09th 2019
37
Lol he never looks like Jason Kidd
Jan 09th 2019
41
let's look at some actual facts versus your feelings
Jan 09th 2019
42
      honest question, no snark- did you watch Kidd play?
Jan 09th 2019
48
           Yes I did
Jan 09th 2019
49
                Word
Jan 09th 2019
53
                Numbers can LIE
Jan 10th 2019
54
If you pay attention to the FO, Zo isn't getting moved
Jan 09th 2019
45
      yea. and magic seems to have taken ownership over this
Jan 09th 2019
50
shipping D'Tective was always a terrible idea.
Jan 09th 2019
38
oh, in that case
Jan 09th 2019
40
I was salivating at that backcourt.
Jan 09th 2019
43
It got us Kuzma and a max salary slot
Jan 09th 2019
46
He ain’t it.
Jan 09th 2019
39
I love Lonzo. LOVE him.
Jan 09th 2019
47
He's looking suspect as a scorer
Jan 09th 2019
44
With Bron, BI, and Kuz (AND HART) why does he need to score?
Jan 09th 2019
51
RB The BreakThrough (Youtube) and some trash outlets
Jan 09th 2019
52
Kuz.
Jan 10th 2019
55
yessir and Beas, KCP, Zo, and BI. Defense was on one tonight
Jan 10th 2019
56
And it was one of those nights...
Jan 10th 2019
58
Sigh @ my Pistons
Jan 10th 2019
57
Jesus Christ do we suck
Jan 10th 2019
66
      SVG is on Dan LeBatard every Wednesday...
Jan 10th 2019
68
      damn. i had no idea he had regular gig like that.
Jan 10th 2019
69
      So SVG was the answer? Got it.
Jan 10th 2019
72
           LMAO wtf does that even mean?
Jan 10th 2019
75
41 point 0 assists lol
Jan 10th 2019
59
      Does he dress in Kobe’s old locker?
Jan 10th 2019
60
      16/24. his job is to get buckets.
Jan 10th 2019
62
      Is anyone else going to shoot better than 67%?
Jan 10th 2019
67
Lakers now 3-5 without LeBron - Kuz is real
Jan 10th 2019
61
Kuz is the difference...
Jan 10th 2019
63
he got that dog in him.
Jan 10th 2019
64
he's a big ass boobie gibson
Jan 12th 2019
85
Yup... great thing that Luke said last night...
Jan 10th 2019
65
The D has been top 3 in def rating since Bron was injured
Jan 10th 2019
73
      Their D had already improved - they were top 10 in many categories
Jan 10th 2019
74
           Def rating was 13th prior, off rating was 17th
Jan 10th 2019
76
*Smh*
Jan 11th 2019
77
went from a 6-point game to a 20-point game just like that.
Jan 11th 2019
78
Yea. Awful basketball by the Lakers.
Jan 12th 2019
79
Damn, who locked Kuzma?
Jan 12th 2019
81
      He locked himself. Boy thinks he’s arrived.
Jan 12th 2019
83
Yeah, y’all got it in for Bi
Jan 12th 2019
80
lol, you’re so determined to be a Lakers malcontent
Jan 12th 2019
82
i do what i do
Jan 12th 2019
84
Reality has it out for BI
Jan 12th 2019
86
Justise better than your big brickin bitch
Jan 12th 2019
90
BI is a very good player, just not a star
Jan 12th 2019
87
Dude is avg AF, but
Jan 12th 2019
89
      Being a top 10 individual def rating player = average
Jan 12th 2019
92
Offensively, he isn't being used correctly
Jan 12th 2019
93
Where are you getting these adv. metrics from?
Jan 12th 2019
100
      Synergy data
Jan 13th 2019
104
           Thx
Jan 17th 2019
121
0 assists...talk about that
Jan 12th 2019
94
      That was before Bron ruined his development
Jan 12th 2019
96
if there was ever a question as to whether LAL needed Bron
Jan 12th 2019
88
Who was asking that question?
Jan 12th 2019
91
      not to mention the over-simplistic "logic" that...
Jan 12th 2019

           oh i forgot, no one ages AND that money doesnt get spent elsewhere
Jan 12th 2019

      plenty people - both here and bloggers in L.A.

           Julius Randle is good
Jan 12th 2019
101
           RE: Julius Randle is good
Jan 13th 2019
106
           No need for simplistic, selective context or trying to prop Lebron
Jan 13th 2019
105
                that's for sure - Bron doesn't need anything to prop him up
Jan 13th 2019
107
                     The sensitivity & empty platitudes have arrived, like clockwork
Jan 13th 2019
108
                          Bro I'm done arguing with these fucking parasites..
Jan 13th 2019
109
Coaching staff looks fed up with these listless young dudes
Jan 13th 2019
110
Lol. They just lost to the worst team in the league.
Jan 13th 2019
111
which so happens to be the team LeBron left.
Jan 14th 2019
113
      Laugh that shit up. Looks like Bron was sippin an adult beverage again.
Jan 14th 2019
114
           LOL
Jan 14th 2019
116
Not when we're giving his fucking charity signing three 3's in three min...
Jan 13th 2019
112
KCP had an off game tonight, he's been very good though
Jan 14th 2019
115
yikes! It's getting ugly. 3-7 w/ out Bron
Jan 14th 2019
117
woof.
Jan 14th 2019
118
Man.....
Jan 14th 2019
119
Randles a pretty big piece, but sure.
Jan 14th 2019
120
no reason to trade the young talent....
Jan 18th 2019
123
Kuz is a good player. Lonzo is showing signs of being a good player
Jan 18th 2019
126
      >I'm out on Ingram as a meaningful Laker
Jan 18th 2019
127
           Sure he aint that dog but he & Zo are elite defenders
Jan 18th 2019
143
                Not shunning his defensive presence at all.
Jan 18th 2019
144
Terrible foul by Lonzo, terrible last play call by Luke. Ugh
Jan 18th 2019
122
Keep playing, keep grinding, keep learning
Jan 18th 2019
124
Kuz.
Jan 18th 2019
125
Most impressive win of the year IMO -- now 5-7 w/ out Bron
Jan 18th 2019
128
first 6 games without Bron 1-5, last 6 games without Bron 4-2...
Jan 18th 2019
129
easily could be 6-6 w/ out Bron right now (meltdown at Sac)
Jan 18th 2019
130
yep...
Jan 18th 2019
131
like most things the results of the adjustments don't happen instantaneo...
Jan 18th 2019
134
Well they made up for nearly blowing that one.
Jan 18th 2019
132
Zubac is balling.
Jan 18th 2019
133
He goes on spurts offensively where he's unstoppable
Jan 18th 2019
135
if he's gonna give you 20+ and 10+,
Jan 18th 2019
138
ZuPac is the fucking man. I'm glad he's rebounded this year
Jan 18th 2019
136
didn't seem like he got many chances
Jan 18th 2019
137
he always had offensive game he needed to work on his defense
Jan 18th 2019
139
      true
Jan 18th 2019
140
           Also sounds like McGee and Chandler have been mentors...
Jan 18th 2019
145
                I'm glad to see that too.
Jan 18th 2019
146
He picked up an injury over the summer which stalled him
Jan 18th 2019
141
He deserves it, dude put in a ton of work
Jan 18th 2019
142
      it shows.
Jan 18th 2019
147
Solid first half, some of Walton’s rotations are still head-scratchers...
Jan 19th 2019
148
PJ Tucker is like a fullback on those moving screens
Jan 19th 2019
149
We got bailed out on that call but
Jan 19th 2019
150
Way to jinx, dummy.
Jan 19th 2019
152
Ugh. Not the place I’d like to be.
Jan 19th 2019
151
Tough way to lose but so much resilience

Jan 20th 2019
156

Jan 20th 2019
157
Tattoos... I'm pretty sure he's only made of tattoos
Jan 21st 2019
158
Nobody need that 9/5 on trash shooting splits. POINT BI TIME!!!
Jan 21st 2019
159
Yes. It’s good to finally get an elite shooter at PG.
Jan 21st 2019
161
We got lucky, his sprain seems to be lower end of grade 3
Jan 21st 2019
160
Klay out there going absolutely crazy
Jan 22nd 2019
162
this shit dont count lol
Jan 22nd 2019
163
      Man.. that shooting percentage is impressive even in an empty gym.
Jan 22nd 2019
164
      pretty much
Jan 22nd 2019
165
Can the return of Coach Rondo turn this around?
Jan 22nd 2019
166
Rondo needs help!!
Jan 25th 2019
167
My goodness
Jan 29th 2019
168
This shouldn’t be a surprise.
Jan 30th 2019
169
When Zo breaks 15 with 8 assists, Laker fans be cysed
Jan 30th 2019
170
The team fell apart after Bron got injured.
Jan 30th 2019
171
Huge props to BI for last night's game
Jan 30th 2019
172
16/20, too.
Jan 30th 2019
174
My hope was .500 when LeBron got back
Jan 30th 2019
173
welp... Rondo is back, right?
Jan 31st 2019
175
Kang back against the Clips.
